Application for a permit in accordance with § 27 of the Explosives Act
After successful completion of the course, the application for a permit in accordance with § 27 of the Explosives Act can be submitted.
If a permit is applied for within one year of the issue of the clearance certificate, the applicant's reliability and personal suitability need not be re-examined unless new facts justify the assumption that the applicant no longer possesses the required reliability and personal suitability.
After successful examination of the documents submitted, the permit is issued in accordance with § 27 of the Explosives Act for a fee determined according to the individual effort involved. The permit is usually issued for 5 years. Content and spatial restrictions as well as conditions are possible.
A storage check is carried out on the permit holder before the first permit is issued in accordance with Section 27 of the Explosives Act.
Extension of the permit in accordance with Section 27 of the Explosives Act
The extension of the permit must be applied for in good time (at least three months before expiry). If the validity of the permit has already expired, it can no longer be extended. In this case, a new permit must be issued. The competent authority should not recognize a passed examination as proof of specialist knowledge in whole or in part if more than five years have passed since the examination was taken and the applicant has not or predominantly not lawfully carried out the activity requiring a permit since the date of the examination (Section 29 (2) of the 1st Ordinance to the Explosives Act). In such cases, there are doubts as to whether the necessary technical and legal knowledge is still available. Due to the wording in the provision "lawfully exercised", the applicant cannot claim that he has been active without a permit in the past. It is therefore necessary to repeat participation in a state or state-recognized training course for the intended activity.
After a successful background check, the permit holder is subject to a warehouse inspection before the permit is renewed. If the warehouse check is completed without any incidents, the permit can be extended in person and upon presentation of the identity card. The permit is generally extended for 5 years. The fee for the extension depends on the effort involved.
Once the validity of the permit has expired, the continued possession of explosive substances is prohibited! The explosives certificate and a declaration of residues of existing powder must be submitted to the regulatory authority of the city of Bonn without further request. If you are still in possession of explosive substances after the permit has expired, this constitutes a criminal offense in accordance with § 40 Para. 1 No. 3 SprengG.
The permit in accordance with § 27 of the Explosives Act is only a personal permit and cannot, for example, be issued to associations or several persons. The need for this permit can only be claimed by the permit holder for themselves. The reloading of ammunition for other persons (e.g. relatives or shooting colleagues) is not permitted!
When acquiring explosive substances, the type and quantity, the date of acquisition and the name and address of the transferor must be entered in the permit (Section 25 (1) sentence 2 of the 1st Ordinance to the Explosives Act). This also applies if explosive substances are acquired by private individuals, for example shooting buddies. In this case, both explosives licenses must be presented to the regulatory authority.
When storing small quantities of propellant powder, Appendix 6 to Annex § 2 of the 2nd Ordinance to the Explosives Act (2. SprengV) in conjunction with the Explosives Storage Guidelines 410 must be observed.
